|  Just some thoughts for all of you.  I have come back from a long time away and I hope to I get the chance to know all of you that have come to the forums since my ins and outs. My mother who had been sick for so long died one day before her birthday on May 6th. She had been battleing Diabetes and her kidneys failed to the point that she fianlly decided to go on Dialysys. She was doing so well and then she fell and a few days later she was gone., just like that.  I am lost without her. BUT I know I can come into this site and find all of you. My thoughts need to go back to me, in a selfish way but only to get back to losing what is left of this weight. I left my job in early March and my time was spent alot with Mom and the time just flew by and before long June is here and it too almost gone and my weight issues have suffered. I have not been walking and have not been watching my intakes very well and now I need to focus and get back on track. I find myself picking way too much, especially at night. Today as I was grocery shopping I found some new ideas and hope to get through the rest of this week keeping a journal and to keep a liquid/soft food diet. Start over in a sense. I got some recipes made tonight and got the blender back out and hope to stick to this. AND WALK!!!!!!! As I too start all over again I hope that I can keep my head up and keep my Mothers thoughts in my head. She was so very proud of me for losing this weight. She didn't even know me one day coming up the hall to take her shopping. We just giggled.... She lost 70 pounds in 4 weeks and although her weight loss was mostly fluids from her congestive heart failure and then from the dialysys treatments. She felt soo much better for a little bit of time. Just getting in and out of her bed was so much easier. She worried so for me and did not want me to have to deal with this terrible desease. Diabetes is the one of the worst of the worst. Another good reason to be glad to have this chance to get healthy and live longer and have more energy and all of those good reasons. I will be a Grandma again in a few weeks , one more reason for me to get back on track. Ella Rose will be a good helper. She cannot wait. I sure do miss my Mommy. I want her back.....  Thank you all again and I hope that I can get back to being a true loser again!!!! LOL Hugs and love to all of you...ROBBIN

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Robbin, I'm so sorry for your loss, but I know you will forever cherish this time that you were able to spend with your mother. I too lost my mother and was able to be with her in her last week of life and I'm so glad I did. You will get past most of the pain eventually - focusing on the good times is what helps. |

((((((HUGS))))))) Robbin, I am sure your mother is always by you and watching over you. And, she'll come back in that new grandchild of yours. Cherish the child as you cherished your mother, and she will keep on living within you. She is free from the body that with its disabilities was a cage for her, and she is free from pain and despair. I am sure she will want you happy and healthy, and your happiness is what will keep her at peace. ((((((HUGS)))))

Robin, So sorry for your loss. I too lost my grandmother to complication of Diabetes. She did not take care of it and caused heart failure. By the time we realized what was going on, she was past the point anything could be done. I did get to spend several months with her before she left us and it is the most special time of my life. She always believed in me and knew that there was something special about me. I know your mom i proud of you and knows you are working hard.
